Coins of King Dinis I (1279-1325)

The coins of King Dinis I, known as “the Farmer King”, reflect a reign marked by economic development and administrative consolidation.

His coinage continued the medieval Portuguese monetary system, with silver dinheiros and half‑dinheiros minted in bolhão alloy, featuring simple designs with crosses and inscriptions.
